The renewal of casualty insurance and an amended school year calendar dominated proceedings at the Taylorville CUSD #3 Board of Education’s June meeting on Tuesday.
Dan McNeely, executive vice president of sales for Dimond Brothers Insurance, spoke about the casualty insurance renewal. The proposal he presented to the board showed increased deductibles in some areas of the policy. However, it provided the board discretion on how high to set the deductibles and how it would affect premiums.
The board voted in favor of the renewal.
Superintendent Brandi Bruley spoke on a change being made to the next school year’s calendar. There had been the possibility that the state would designate Election Day as a non-school day, but this fell through. The Taylorville School District had originally set its academic calendar for next year with that potential change in mind.
The board voted in favor of the change.
The school board also voted to allow the Christian County Board to use the high school cafeteria for its monthly general meeting next Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Other motions the board passed regard:
- An amended budget for Fiscal Year 2026,
- An elementary math curriculum discussed during a presentation before the main meeting,
- The Christian County CEO contract.
During the superintendent’s report, Bruley spoke on funding circumstances the school district is expected to face regarding transportation for special education purposes.
The next meeting of the Taylorville School Board is tentatively set for Tuesday, July 14.
